Whats going on all! I recent purchased a 2009 is250 and currently looking to put rims on for the summer. I like the concave look but unsure of the plus size I should go up too including the wheel diameter with out staggering them. I'm considering 20's simply because getting tires will be cheaper when it comes to replacing tires. I'm also unsure of the brand thats most durable; I leaving in the suburbs but when I have to go into the city roads aren't really the best. Here some that I looked at.

TSW-rivage hyper silver
TSW-Mirabeau black with the chrome lip
TSW- Bristol-silver with mirror face
TSW-Sochi gunmetal

Stance sc5

mrr cv2
ace alloy couture hyper silver with the machine face
NICHE NUBERG with crome lip black or silver
NICHE MILAN silver

And what's the best tire to wrap them in?

The goodyear eagle F1?

The stance of the car is factory I havent lowered and not looking to do so because of the area I live in. Help a brother out!!!!!!!!

if the roads are not the best going 20's is prob not the best idea because of how thin of a tire you will have to run. Maybe look into 18's or 19's that way you can still run a decent amount of tire. Without lowering of course it will have a huge gap if you are not a fan of slamming maybe look into some F sport springs which is a really mild drop but improves the look.

I hope youre prepared for a brutal ride because 20s in the city..forget about it.. either way, consider coilovers for 20s for proper looking ride height. personally id stick to 19s with correct offsets for recommended tire sizes. I'm not a fan of wide wheels and skinny tires. also keep in mind wheel weights, as the 250 is already slow you don't want wheels that are much heavier than oem.

I would suggest getting 19s! I got the Niche Milan silver with the machine finish and they're beautiful!

19's ok When you said correct offset of the tires; will these reduce the gap without changing the suspension

Yes they're concave and there was still about 4 fingers space in between the wheel and car so that's why I got my car lowered and it looks much better.
